A T-Bone Steak is cut from the middle of the Short Loin.

It is very similar to a Porterhouse Steak. They both contain a T-shaped bone and a small portion of the tenderloin; however the Porterhouse has more Tenderloin than does a T-Bone.

The diameter of the Tenderloin piece in the T-Bone steak must be no less than 1/2 inch (1.3 cm.) The steak will be anywhere from 1 to 3 inches thick (2.5 to 7.5 cm.)
